Oxysterols constitute a class of cholesterol derivatives that exhibit broad biological effects ranging from cytotoxicity to regulation of nuclear receptors. The role of oxysterols such as 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) in the development of retinal macular

Cholesterol sulfate is quantitatively the most important known sterol sulfate in human plasma, where it is present in a concentration that overlaps that of the other abundant circulating steroid sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate. Althoug

The neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS), which is synthesized in glial cells, plays a significant role in learning and memory performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of expression of the steroid sulfotransferase SUL

Sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is a mitochondrial P-450 enzyme with broad substrate specificity for C27 sterols including 7-ketocholesterol (7kCh). CYP27A1 is widely expressed in human tissues but has not been previously demonstrated in the retina.

cDNAs for rat SULT2B1 steroid/sterol sulfotransferase isoforms were cloned, and the encoded proteins overexpressed, purified and characterized. The rat SULT2B1a isoform avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but poorly utilizes cholesterol as a substrate, wh

The steroid/sterol sulfotransferase gene (SULT2B1) encodes for two isozymes of which one (SULT2B1b) sulfonates cholesterol and is selectively expressed in skin. The human SULT2B1 gene contains neither a TATAAA nor a CCAAT motif upstream of the coding

Cholesterol sulfate is a highly amphipathic molecule that is present in a relatively high concentration in the epidermis of human skin, particularly in the granular layer. The physiologic significance of this finding, however, is not well-understood.

The gene for human hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase (SULT2B1) encodes two peptides, SULT2B1a and SULT2B1b, that differ only at their amino termini. SULT2B1b has a predilection for cholesterol but is also capable of sulfonating pregnenolone, whereas SU

The sulfonation of endogenous molecules is a pervasive biological phenomenon that is not always easily understood, and although it is increasingly recognized as a function of fundamental importance, there remain areas in which significant cognizance
